For the past few days, the place I lived dropped to below 0 degrees, and I parked the car outside. So this morning when I tried to open the driver's door, it appeared that the rubber button on the door handle is 'frozen', I can't press it and open my door, I checked the other doors, they all working fine, just the driver's side and I have to open it from inside by entering the passenger seat...(there's no ice around the door so the door itself is not frozen)
Has anyone experienced this issue before? is this something the dealer will fix/ replace?

I have experienced the same issue today. I went through the car wash this morning, and tonight I could not open 3 out of 4 doors until. My hand thawed the sensor/button.
Dealer stated should not have happened as handle is sealed. I really do not want to spray anything on the handles

they could be wrong... seem like water is inside. You can try a warm water bag
it happened to me tonight as well.. temperature dropped below 0 quickly this afternoon, was shopping outside when I came back the button is frozen again

i think i figured out the issue. Once i melted the door handle, it made this suction sound like it has water in it (probs fr the water I poured in) and there seems to be a little latch looking thing just right under the touch lock area where you can pull. When i pull the tab i heard ice shatter. I wonder if that is the “drain” for the water inside

Are you all having issues all have NXs made in Canada? I'm not saying Canada made NXs are bad, buy trying to isolate if it's a supplier issue with the Canadian made or Japan made NXs have the same issue.
Mine is Japan made and I haven't seen this issue as if yet.
